    still splitting it by the meaningless metric of political party

    And they don’t even show the “moderately proud”, “only a little proud”, or “not proud at all” lines.

    Here’s the actual June 2025 result

    In other words, the chauvinism is still going strong. But who knows about the polling methodology.

        I’ll give them a tiny amount of slack in that they probably need to keep the question consistent over a long period of time (going back to at least 2001 according to this chart). But it is absolutely agree it’s a totally chauvinist/jingo question.

      Props to the fence-sitters at “only a little proud” for hedging their bets.

      And I’m a little proud to be an American.
      Where at least I’m free for now.
      And I’ll sometimes recall the men who died.
      Just to ensure access to the developing world’s resources for me.
      And I’ll probably stand up next to you.
      And offer tepid praise.
      Cause there are some doubts I love this land.
      The US is just okay!
